[Turbohwagon]

obtw kids, this is the 2.3 bell housing not a v8 small bell housing...

way different, Too bad I just sold my whole spare back up for a c4, I do have one bellhousing left if you need ti for mock up but isnt for sale at the time being....

chris

Either way a C-4 should fall right into anything he's trying to put a 2.3L into.

I knew this was the case, but I just have spare parts laying around.

Here is what I found while searching for the D42F 7976 AA bell from a 74 pinto 2.3 C4, these things are RARE. I did find one:

yeah its been brought to my attention that its gonna be near impossible to find the 2.3 bell housing. if i don't run a full interior i'll just go with the world class T5. a c4 would be cool though. i'm a long long ways away from having to worry about it yet.

I posted a whole list of them. do the C4 with a low to mid 3000 stall, you wont regret it.

well i got the engine back to the shop and pulled it apart. everything looks real good minus two problems. Two of the head bolts broke while taking the head off. one has about an inch of bolt sticking out, one has about 1/4" sticking out. the internals look real good and everything was pretty clean inside so off it goes to a machine shop to see if they can get them out. I'll put a few pics up tomorrow morning.

Weld some nuts on there and take them out.

You should just put that in your sig

Maybe i will.

[ClOckwOrk]

i probably could but i really dont wanna make the problem any worse. i think if i were a machinist, i'd rather deal with the original problem, rather than a problem i fucked up worse. it cant cost that much to have them pulled. It was relieving to see that it looked good inside though. Since i'm going to have it in a machine shop, i may just get it re-ringed and bearing'd while i'm at it.

So your going to pay him to weld on a couple of nuts and pull them out? Ballin.

if that's how he does it, yep. I know me. i'll fuck it up.....

[culpepper]

I know its not a very good first post but if you end up needing a bell let me know. lol I hoarded them for years and dont even run a C4.

Prostang knows me

i dont want to risk breaking it again flush or inside the block. its just gonna go to a machine shop.

oh and i'd be interested in the ultra-small bell housing if you have one.
